Hey, The JMX input is one way to do this, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.4/plugins-inputs-jmx.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.4/plugins-inputs-jmx.html) If you are using [jolokia](https://jolokia.org/), you could use metricbeat with the [jmx module](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.3/metricbeat-metricset-jolokia-jmx.html), see also this blog post [https://www.elastic.co/blog/monitoring-java-applications-with-metricbeat-and-jolokia](https://www.elastic.co/blog/monitoring-java-applications-with-metricbeat-and-jolokia) hope this helps! --Alex ---
